Answer 1

You need to use scan your computer with anti Trojan Horse security software program. In addition, it wouldn't be a bad idea to scan with an antivirus and anti spyware program. You can try AVG Anti spyware program which scans for both spyware and Trojan Horses. It comes with a 30 day free trial. Afterwards, the real time protection is disable but everything else works just fine. The link is (http://www.ewido.net/en/download/). Another good choice is A Squared Anti Malware software program. The free edition does not provide any real time protection but everything else works fine. The link is (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/).

If you also need an antivirus program or another anti spyware program, go to (http://www.filehippo.com) and look under the Antivirus and Anti Spyware sections.

Oftentimes, hackers use rootkits to conceal Trojan Horses. Rootkits are a new form of malware which serves to hide the presence of Trojan Horses from security software programs. There are a number of free rootkit detectors. Try the free Sophos Anti Rootkit (http://www.sophos.com/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.html).

Telltale signs of bot infection, is a sudden drop in Internet connection speed. A drop in computer performance. If you have any other question, drop me an e-mail.
